Enticing reintroduction to acoustic guitar

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I am an old acoustic music fan who drifted away. Acoustic Edge brought me back into the fold. Almost all of the cuts are solid strong pieces that reveal the power non-amplified music can have. I rediscovered old friends and found new ones. Richard Thompsons "Beeswing" is a soft etheral piece. Pat Donohue "Pig Iron" is a revelation. Overall it the album offers up strong pieces from musicians I automatically put in the acoustic folk category and surprising gems from musicians I put in the amplified pop/folk/jazz category."
